Correct 6'6" with monkey long arms. It rides nice, but I am not sure how long of rides will go on it. The stem is a 100 mm and I would like at least a 120mm. Anyone have a 120-130mm French sized (22.0 quill)Cinelli stem? I did a quick trip to get some food for lunch today and the fat 650B tires really soak up the crappy local roads. It didn't feel slow or sluggish either.
The parts are a mix of old and new. The original owner I purchased it from had it repainted and after the repainted bought almost full Campagnolo Nuovo Record group for it. I didn't like how the r/d and rear shifter were working with the now 8speed cassette it sports on the rear wheel.
Here is the full parts spec:
63cm 1972 Peugeot PX10 frame and fork repainted by Matt Assenmacher
Stronglight roller bearing headset
Stronglight bottom bracket
Stronglight 93 crankset 170mm arms with 52/42 Stronglight rings
Crank Brothers Eggbeaters
Nuovo Record clamp on shifter mounts with Rivendell Silver shifters
Nuovo Record brake levers
Cinelli 1A stem (still too short)
Cinelli 66-42 bars
Tektro R556 dual pivot monster reach brakes
basic seatpost with a Brooks Swallow copy
Campagnolo BB cable guides and top tube housing clips
NR Front derailleur
Shimano 105 rear derailleur
KMC X9 chain
SRAM 12-26 8 speed cassette
Planet Bike Cascadia fenders (700c)
and the wheelset hand built by yours truly with Shimano Tiagra Hubs laced three cross to Velocity Dyad rims with DT Swiss 2.0/1.8 double butted spokes with Panaracer Col de la Vie 650b X 38 tires
